Also such articles may beworn hidden in the hair of the wearer, or attached to undergarments,when used to carry perfume. Or else, they may be set for instance into ahole in a wall or other suitable socket, or clipped onto a bed rail,when used to carry medicated or disinfectant solutions. Y

Other objects and advantages will become apparent as this disclosureproceeds.

In the accompanying drawings forming part of this specification, similarcharacters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the views.

Fig. 1 is a perspective view showing a preferred embodiment of thisinvention. A cover member included herein, is shown swung open Fig. 2 isa top view of Fig. 1, minus said cover member.

Fig. 3 is a fragmentary section taken at line 3-3 in Fig. l, drawn to aslightly enlarged scale.

Fig. 4 is a magnified View of the showing in Fig. 3, the cover beingshown closed Fig. 5 is a view similar to that of Fig. 2, showing amodified construction.

Fig. 6 is a section taken at line 6-5 in Fig. 5.

As shown in the drawings, it is practical to start with a pin or claspof the type akin to a bobby pin i5, and mount or build-in a suitablemeans to hold a cotton or felt wad I6, between the tines il' and i8, asthe bight i9 of said pin.

In the embodiment illustrated in Figs. l through 4, such wad-holdingmeans is a receptacle designated generally by the numeral 2-0.Comparatively short tine portions at the bight I9, serve as the sidewalls of such receptacle, while said bight and the knuckle 2l of thecover member 22, serve as the end walls. A bottom member 23 is soldered,welded or otherwise suitably secured along the bottom edges of said tineportions and the bight. Either or both the cover 22 and the bottommember 23, are perforated, as at 2li and 25. The numeral '26 denotes anaxis pin through the knuckle 2|; said pin being supported by the tines.

The Width of the strip stock of which the pin I5 is made, beingextremely small, it is no problem that the size of the knuckle 2| servesas a wall of the receptacle 20, when bobby pins common on the market,are used. The tines Il and I8, or either of them, may be crimped as thetine I8 is here shown, and said tines may be in c-ontact or apart,4 andof any desired length as required use may dictate. The receptacle 26 mayhold an absorbent wad l5 to be saturated with perfume or other liquiddesired, or else into such receptacle may be placed a scented pellet orodoriferous crystals, for example. When the cover 22' is positioned toclose the receptacle, the prong 22' frictionally engages the bight I9.

In the modified embodiment illustrated in the Figs. 5 and 6, areceptacle or holding means for a wad 3| is provided for, by mounting ahollow rivet or any eyelet or the like, within the bight and between thetines 28 and 29, of the pin 30; the flanges of said eyelet or hollowrivet being in engagement with the body of said pin. It is desired thatthe notation eyelet shall be deemed to include other forms thereof, as ahollow rivet, a grommet, or the like.

The articles shown may be made of any desired size and of any suitablematerials, as metals, plastics and the like.

This invention is capable of numerous forms and various applicationswithout departing from the essential features herein disclosed. It istherefore intended and desired that the embodiments shown herein shallbe deemed illustrative and not restrictive and that the patent shallcover all patentable novelty herein set forth; reference being had tothe following claims rather than to the specific description herein toindicate the scope of this invention.

I claim:

l. In an article of the character described, an elongated member bent toform a bight and a pair of tines; said tines being spaced from eachother in the region of the bight and a wad-supporting element mounted onsaid member between the tines in the region of the bight, saidsupporting the tines and a cover for said receptacle hav'" ing a knuckleabout said pin; said'cover being,r

swingable about the axis line of said pinyto posi'- tions to cover anduncovei` saidreceptacle.

3. An article as deiined'in 'claim f2, whereini the bight and knuckleare th end Walls',` and the tines at the bight region, the 'sidewall's'of the receptacle, and wherein the supporting element is spacedfrom the cover and is the bottom of said receptacle; said receptaclehaving an opening in one of its components.
